New Jersey Housing Market 2025: Crash or Correction?

Is the New Jersey housing market headed for a downturn? In this episode of The New Jersey Living Podcast, veteran Coldwell Banker broker Michael Pennisi offers his expert analysis on what homebuyers and sellers can expect in 2025.Despite 2024 seeing the lowest home sales in 30 years nationwide, New Jersey's market remains resilient due to persistent demand amid limited inventory. Pennisi forecasts interest rates stabilizing between 5-6% in 2025, potentially sparking increased buying activity while also heightening competition.With millennials driving demand and new construction focused primarily on luxury rentals rather than affordable single-family homes, buyers may benefit from acting sooner rather than later.
